3 Happy Birthday!! Mr. Timothy Thomas- November 24 Hello Elementary Parents! The time is upon us to prepare for elementary basketball and cheerleading! The proposed schedule will be practices on Wednesday afternoons and games on Saturday mornings for the latter part of January, throughout all of February, and the first Saturday in March. (This INCLUDES Saturday, February 17 even though it is winter break.) We will have an official schedule the night of the info meeting. This program is open to students PreK - 5th grade. Our informational meeting will be on Thursday, December 7th at 7:00 pm in Heirway's gym. Please plan to come if you are interested and bring your child as we will have uniforms for sizing purposes. The cost for the 6 week program is $40 per child. (***PLEASE NOTE; We will have two Wednesday practices before our first Saturday game. First practice is on January 17th, first game is on January 27th.) All payments must be made before uniforms can be purchased. Attendance to the meeting is extremely important so orders can be made in a timely manner. Because we are offering sizing, no exchanges can be made once an order is placed. For this reason we ask that you are certain of your child's uniform size before you mark it on the form. We are also in need of parent volunteers for the following; Coaches, both BBall & Cheer Referees Clock/Score Keeper Concessions Set up/ Tear down Please let us know if you are able to help in any way, your assistance is necessary to ensure a successful program. Thank you! Timothy J. Thomas, Head of School Heirway Christian Academy
